About Us
Baetje Farms is a pure farmstead artisan goat cheese company. We hold ourselves to very high standards and believe the best cheese comes from the best milk that comes from animals in the best physical condition.
Baetje Farms, pronounced "Bay-G", becan when co-founders Steve and Veronica Baetje bought their first goat just over 20 years ago. As a hobby, they sought out the best way to make French inspired "Pure Artisan Farmstead" goat cheeses. Shortly after, they shared 88 heart shaped pieces of chevre with the public for the first time at the St. Louis Wine Festival. When the live was wrapped around the building with people wanting to try the cheese, they knew they were onto something. Since then, Baetje Farms has won over 70 national and international awards for their cheese and is distributed thorughout the United States.
Product Description
Baetje Farms produces artesian farmstead cheeses - meaning that we handcraft the cheeses from the milk of our own animals on our farm. We produce several varieties of aged, as well as fresh goats milk cheeses in the French style.
Our cheese making facility is built to produce small quantities of cheese coupled with state-of-the-art aging facilities that produce exact temperature and humidity conditions. We use very fresh rennet and cultures that are imported from France and Denmark. The first cheese plant was added onto the barn in 2006 and a second addition in 2011 to meet demand!
